Analytical Report

The Analytical Report is asking me to find the style of writing that is used in my field of business after college. To get a feel for the type of writing I am to conduct an interview with a person that is in the workforce. This person can be reached out to by family, friends, or the university. During the interview I will ask them questions analyzing how they write in the workplace. After the interview, I will also be finding three academic and three non-academic articles that show a representation of the writing that is used in my major beyond college. Finally, I will collect all the evidence I gathered from the interview and the articles to write a synthesis paper with my findings. The paper should have similar structure to those I've done before analyzing each piece of evidence and then connecting it back to one theme. Overall it should be approximately 1250 words or 5 pages double spaced.

Quistions
1.) Am I pulling direct quotes from both the articles and the interview or just summarizing?
2.) Do I have to conduct the interview in person or can I do it over the phone or Skype?
3) How specific do I have to be with my major if I am not fully committed to a major?
